A resolution presented to the students Monday at the Board of Supervisors meeting commended them for staying calm during a high-stress situation.

When a group of Rappahannock County High School seniors took a trip to Florida, they didn’t plan to return as heroes. 

The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, along with the Rappahannock School Board, adopted a resolution in honor of 11 high school students for their bravery in saving a couple from drowning while on their senior class trip to Clearwater, Florida on April 29.
